This incredible POV video shows what it looks like to be a NASCAR mechanic during a pit stop, and it looks like a very high-pressure environment.
It seems reductive not to have four people assigned to changing out the wheels, but here they only change one side at a time, because NASCAR cars are heavier than F1 cars, so only one side can be jacked at a time.
The team moves at the speed of lightning, making sure that the NASCAR driver can get back on the track after their pit stop in the quickest time possible, and commenters on Reddit were wowed.
Put yourself in the mechanic’s shoes, and check out this thrilling video above; you won’t regret it.
